Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial
v
' Committees Will Put Over
Hart County’s Quota On 13th
Patriotic Citizens of Hartwell and
Hart County Will Buy New Half
Dollar Coins To Help Cause
The first shipment of the newly
coined Confederate Memorial half
dollars, minted by the United States
Government at Washington, have
been received by the two banks of
this city, The First National Bank
and The Hartwell Bank.
The coins will be simultaneously
released throughout the nation on
Saturday of this week, June 13th,
and the citizens will very likely take
up the allotment for Hartwell and
Hart county on this day.
Two Million Were Coined.
As less than two million of the
Memorial coins are available to the
entire South at this time, the South
ern Bankers Committees, arranging
details of their distribution has al
located only a limited number to
each city and county in the various
Southern states. Once these quotas
are exhausted 'no further coins are
obtainable.
The issuance of these commem
orative coins by the National Gov
ernment is an event of the greatest
significance to the South. It is a
gesture of friendliness on the part
of the nation to which the South
will spontaneously respond.
Not only do these coins have a
high sentimental value through this
national recognition of our South
ern heroes, but they also possess an
additional worth since the modest
premium at which the coiris are sold
goes to the completion of the great
monument to the Confederacy be
ing carved at Stone Mountain, Ga.
Bankers Head Drive.
Hons. J. H. Skelton and R. C.'
Thornton, leading citizens and bank
ers, head the drive in Hart county
for the Memorial Coins.

Uncle Sam Says Get
Box For Your Mail
Postmaster Jno. 3. Massey Urges All
City Delivery Patrons To Place
Receptacles Conveniently
Postmaster J. C. Massey is in re
ceipt of a letter from the First As
sistant Postmaster General, Mr. Jno.
H. Bartlett, Washington, calling at
tention to the fact that families de
siring to make use of the city de
livery of mail must provide the nec
essary receptacles or slots in which
mail matter may be deposited by the
carriers.
The matter of boxes, especially in
city delivery has always been a se
rious problem with the post office
department and patrons are asked to
take an interest and see that all
residences are provided with some
kind of box or other receptacle thus
aiding the department and the car
riers in giving the public the kind
of service they would like to have.
"It is the desire of the Post office
Department to give you the best ser
vice possible,” said Postmaster Mas
sey Monday, “and your co-operation
will mean much toward bringing this
about. I cannot stress too much on
the patrons of the Hartwell of
fice the great importance of having
ma'il addressed to their street, box
number of R. F. D., as the case may
be, and in addition a receptacle for
the deposit of mail by the carrier
when he arrives. By doing this you
are not only helping the post office
carry out the plans of the Postmas
ter General, but at the same time
helping your own service.
Following is the letter sent from
the office of the First Assistant
Postmaster General:
Washington, I). C.
To all Postmasters having City De
livery Service:
There must be no laxity of dis
crimination in the enforcement of
the instructions of the department
of August 25, 1922, requiring that
all who receive mail by street Cur
riers at their dwellings should pro
vide a door slot or receptacle for
the deposit of their mail by the car
rier.
1 No particular kind of receptacle is
required or prescribed, the simplest
form of slot or box is acceptable, the
expense is neglible and any one is
carpenter enough to*do the work.
Postmasters shall arrange with
carriers to report all dwellings not ;
provided with these conveniences,
and shall serve the occupant of such j
dwellings with notice to provide I
within a reasonable time receptacles
of some kind.
Further reference is made to my |
instructions of November 17, rela- I
tive to this subject. This is by the
direction of the Postmaster General.

Champion Snake Story For
Season Has Come To Pass
The champion snake story of the ,
season has happened,
And The Elberton Star recently
recorded the facts as follows:
Mr. J. K. Bond, employee of the
city of Elberton at the electric light
plant on Beaverdam creek, killed a
large king snake last Friday that
has been robbing him of from a gal
ton to a gallon and a half of milk
daily for some time. Mr. Bohd has
a very fine cow. It had been giving
four gallons of milk daily for ions’
time, until recently when the quan
tity without apparent cause dropped
down to three gallons and then to
two and a half. The rapidly di
minishing amount of milk given by
his fine cow perplexed Mr. Bond to
such an extent that he set about to
find out the cause. He noticed his
cow would browse around the creek
for some hours and then go up on
the hillside and low, as if calling for
her calf. He watched her last Fri
day when she did this, and found
that she was calling for a snake to
come and relieve her distending un
der, and that the snake answered the
cal). He caught the snake in the
act of sucking the cow, and killed it.
Since that time his cow has been giv- '
ing the accustomed four gallons of '
milk per day.

Will Go To School
1 For Two Weeks
School Teachers of Georgia will
go to school the,mselves beginning
next Monday, June 15th, through

tend pursuing. They should also

Side Application of Fertilizer
To Corn Pays Good Return
The use of nitrogen has shown to
be profitable in experiments with
corn carried on by thf State College
of Agriculture, and now is the time
to make a side application to the
crop, says L. V. Davis, supervisor of
fertilizer investigations throughout
the state.
The State College recommends
that the fertilizer be applied in the
form of nitrate of soda or sulphate
of ammonia between the time the
corn is knee high and waist high.
From 100 to 200 pounds of nitrate of
soda or 75 to 150 pounds of sulphate
of ammonia per acre is advised.
The most profitable fertilizing of
corn will vary greatly under differ
ent conditions, says Prof. Davis. If
a heavy application of fertilizer, as
for cotton, was made to the preced
ing crop there will be much less
needed for supplying phosphoric acid
than if the preceding crop was not
heavily fertilized. Results of experi
ments by the College indicate that
in general the use of phosphoric acid
will be profitable and that on the •
very sandy lands of the coastal plain
the use of potash is necessary and
will prove profitable.
It is recommended that where eith
er phosphoric acid or potash are used
they be applied in the row at plant
ing time. If, however, these two fer
tilizing elements were not applied at
planting time, they may be applied
now with benefit if the crop is not
too far advanced.
